Remote Peaks & Meadows of the Canadian Rockies

Limited to 12 Travelers 
A very important feature of our Canadian Rockies tour is the limited group size, as nature expeditions are best experienced with fewer travelers for a more peaceful and personalized experience with less impact.

Our guests have the option to take this trip on a private basis, traveling with just their selected travel companions. Refer to the Trip Pricing section above for details.

Moderate
This adventure does not require a particularly high degree of physical fitness, and included hikes are easy to moderate in terms of physical exertion. However, please be aware that hiking is the main activity on this trip, with two or three excursions per day. Most hikes will take place at an altitude of 4,500-6,800 feet above sea level. Please be aware, however, that the average altitude of hikes in the Bugaboo Range, which we access via helicopter, is 7,250 feet, with the highest hikes (which are entirely optional) taking place at approximately 8,800 feet. Travelers should be able to walk unassisted for at least 3 miles over rough terrain, both up and down steep inclines, with some gain in altitude (up to 900 feet) required in certain locations. Our days generally start quite early and are very full with activities, including a few long drives. Helicopter-accessed hikes in the Bugaboos are "off-trail," so travelers must be comfortable hiking over rocky, wet and uneven terrain. Note that all hikes are completely optional, and travelers should only participate in activities in which they feel comfortable. While travelers are not required to participate in all activities, should you opt out of the day's scheduled activities, we cannot guarantee that alternatives will always be available. Travelers who would like to take longer or more strenuous hikes will have opportunities to do so during our three-night stay in the Bugaboos, and likewise, those who wish may opt out of any given hike to relax at the lodge.

We recommend that you arrive in Calgary by 2 pm on Day 1 in order to join your group orientation at the hotel at 6 pm. The transfer from Calgary to downtown Banff is usually around 2 hours. You are free to depart Calgary any time after 12 pm on the final day.
